A high-contrast italic serif with crisp, tapered stroke modulation and flared, wedge-like terminals that feel cut rather than bracketed. The forms are narrow-to-moderate with lively slant and a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture; thin hairlines stay delicate while the heavy strokes remain smooth and controlled. Serifs and stroke endings often resolve into sharp, triangular points, giving capitals a sculpted presence and lowercase a swift, cursive-like momentum without becoming script.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium editorial settings such as magazine headlines, decks, pull quotes, and luxury branding where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits formal stationery and invitations that benefit from an expressive italic with a classical edge.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its sharp terminals and energetic italic stance add drama and speed, while the controlled contrast keeps it poised and formal rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant italic voice with dramatic contrast and distinctive flared terminals, balancing traditional serif proportions with a sharper, more fashion-forward finish. It aims to stand out through refined detailing and a brisk, calligraphic rhythm in both capitals and lowercase.
Round letters show tight, elegant curves with fine entry/exit strokes, and the numerals carry the same calligraphic contrast and pointed finishing. In text, the strong diagonal stress and thin hairlines create a bright page color that favors generous sizes and comfortable spacing.
